Progress on Unity under Arch Linux!

@chenxiaolong, can't compile webapps-applications, got this error

mv: cannot stat ‘/usr/share/locale/zn_CN/’: No such file or directory

Actually what is zn_CN for? I checked your PKGBUILD, it's written as {zn,zh}_cn.

It's a Chinese locale. Don't know why it's there though. I tried uncommenting it and it compiled, but then I instead get

/tmp/alpm_aiV0lq/.INSTALL: line 4: syntax error near unexpected token `newline'
/tmp/alpm_aiV0lq/.INSTALL: line 4: `<!DOCTYPE html>

when trying to install it.

Same with the other webapps.

Shouldn't it be only zh_cn?

oi_wtf · 2012-10-08 16:47:39

Normally the chinese locale is named zh_CN, upstream called it zn_CN, obviously by mistake,
so chen renamed it to the correct name in the PKGBUILD...
but there's the cause for your error... this line

mv $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/share/locale/{zn,zh}_CN/

should be

mv ${pkgdir}/usr/share/locale/{zn,zh}_CN/

if you change that, it'll build just fine.

Thanks. It's already mentioned by you on previous page. Sorry that I didn't check it carefully.

Check if these three addons are enabled in firefox: http://imageshack.us/a/img528/5237/181auswahl.png
For example in GMail, there's a bar like this: http://imageshack.us/a/img811/9135/179auswahl.png (sry, it's not english)
In GMail you have to click the link in that bar, on omgubuntu.co.uk I got asked automatically,
in any case a... uh... popup like this http://imageshack.us/a/img528/1691/180auswahl.png pops up and asks if you want to integrate the webapp into your desktop...
@chen is it possible to change the ubuntu-icon in the third image?

Hi, I got all of these popups and successfully enable it for gmail. However, none of the exciting features such as message indicator integration and hud integration appears.
Should I run some extra service manually?
Many thanks!

Quick question, how do I get the music lens working, and (if possible) the photo one?
And is there any way to add other lenses? I know there's many available for Ubuntu.
Rhythmbox is needed for the music lens and Shotwell is needed for the photos len I'm not sure if the music/picture directories need to be added to the respective programs though.
As for other lenses, we'll have them when they are packaged Do you have a list of ones you want? I can package them when I have time.

Rhythmbox is not necessary. I didn't install it but the music lens works. It may be due to that I installed banshee.

Can anybody help me get lightdm to load, I added lightdm to /etc/rc.conf but did not work, so I installed GDM to get a desktop. Am I doing something wrong I dont have an entry for lightdm in /etc/inittab btw.

Is your system newly installed? Did you follow the install instructions strictly?
Can you also try to run lightdm manually and check the log?

BTW, I don't have lightdm entry in /etc/inittab either.

You need lightdm from unity-extra repo and lightdm-unity-greeter from AUR.
Unfortunately, I still did not added package to repo because of lack of time.

If there's no entry in inittab, (which is the default, btw) then you've simply got to create that entry
(it's really not that hard and explained in the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Lightdm )

You might have to change the var greeter-session in lightdm.conf to "greeter-session=unity-greeter",
if lightdm fails to load the unity greeter...
to see some error messages of lightdm if it fails to start, use the "lightdm -d" command in your tty...

Keep in mind that it also depends on the init-system you're using. If you still use sysvinit then inittab is still important, if you switch or have already switched to systemd you need to enable the lightdm-service.

It still does not work for me
/etc/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf
/etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf

oi_wtf · 2012-10-11 06:01:14

Your lightdm.conf is wrong,
don't uncomment settings after

#
# Seat defaults
#

but after

[SeatDefaults]

the former are just explainations, not the real settings.
Also the default settings are pretty good, you shouldn't need to change them...
I didn't... see: http://sprunge.us/MhRc?cfg

I repleaced the continents of your link to my /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and ran sudo systemctl enable lightdm.service and it still does not run

Then boot, go to your tty, type "lightdm -d" press return and tell us the output...
Does lightdm start that way? -> problem lies within init/systemd
Does not start? -> problem with lightdm

how do you take a picture in tty fn+PRTSC did not work

oi_wtf · 2012-10-12 02:39:40

You can't do it like that, simplest way would be to write the output to a textfile,
like "lightdm -d > logfile" or "lightdm -d | tee logfile"

it showed that greeter-setup-script=/usr/bin/numlockx on did not work so I commented it out and it works now thanks everybody for your help

The estimated arrival date for my new SSD is Monday. I can finally install Arch again to test the commits, so I don't make stupid mistakes like this again

I will be so happy if this is true: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=n … px=MTIwNTI

If Canonical can develop it's own software and stop patching GNOME's, then there's hope that Unity could be accepted into other distro's official repositories

cpatrick08 · 2012-10-12 23:53:52

I was wondering if it was safe to use arch's testing repo with unity git repo. I tried to do the upgrade and it wanted to replace some Ubuntu packages and I said no and # out the testing repo

Berseker · 2012-10-13 10:16:10

is a normal arch repo available to test these unity packages? or do I have to download everything from git "manually" and then package everything acc to the build order on the git repo website?

Not wanting to read through 1100+ posts, I would encourage you to edit and update the first post in this thread with yor latest and greatest info with links to install. For example, project status, likes to PKGBUILD, etc.
